Cresswind at Market Common is an active-adult community of about 400 single-family homes, built by Kolter Homes between 2013 and 2022. It's off Farrow Parkway in The Market Common area of Myrtle Beach, just a golf cart ride from Myrtle Beach State Park and the ocean.
Life here centers on a 15,000-square-foot clubhouse and a full calendar of clubs and events. The HOA handles lawn care, so owners spend their time at the pool, the fitness center, or the restaurants and shops of The Market Common a few minutes away.
Cresswind is popular with retirees and pre-retirees relocating to the coast, empty nesters who want a social community with less upkeep, and second-home buyers who want to be close to the beach, the airport and The Market Common. The community is built out, so homes are available as resales.

Can I drive a golf cart to the beach? Yes. Golf carts are allowed, and residents can ride to The Market Common, Myrtle Beach State Park and the beach.
Are the homes single-level? Most Cresswind homes are single-level living, and some plans add a bonus room or loft upstairs.
